Exercise 9 Page 389

Do you remember the formula for finding the area of a circle?

4Ï€ m^2

Practice makes perfect

Let's find the area of the circle. The area of a circle with radius r is calculated using the formula below. A=Ï€ r^2 From the figure, we know that the radius of the circle is 2m. By substituting 2 for r in the formula, we can calculate A.

A=Ï€ r^2
A=Ï€( 2)^2
A=Ï€ 4
A = 4Ï€

The area of the circle is 4 π m^2.
